Hope and Homes for Children Working group 5 - Targeting, forecasting and planning the establishment of continuum of services

 HHC – international NGO based in UK. Working in 12 countries in Europe and Africa  Focus in Europe – deinstitutionalisation. Working with local authorities to transform large children’s homes and replace them with family-based services Hope and Homes for Children

 In BiH since 1994  Transforming institutions  Developing family based services  Supporting young adults leaving institutional care Hope and Homes for Children BiH

 First institution to be transformed in BiH  Institution in Zenica for 60 children aged 0-18  HHC working in partnership with local authorities in Zenica  The institution will be closed by March 2008 TRANSFORMATION OF INSTITUTIONS

 Development of family based services – based on needs assessment:  Prevention  Reintegration  Fostering  Young adult support  Small family home (SFH)  Staff of institution move to new services  HHC provides capital investment + technical support (expertise, training, monitoring)  Local authorities provide running costs and own the services TRANSFORMATION OF INSTITUTIONS

PRINCIPLES The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child underpins the project and all activities in the project will be in line with these guiding principles.

PRINCIPLES  All children should live in families  The views and opinions of children and young people will be listened to and taken into consideration  Siblings will not be separated  Parents and carers will be respected and will be supported  Children and young persons with special needs will receive additional support  Children and young persons will participate in and contribute to the project

PRINCIPLES  All decisions made will be in the best interests of children and young persons  The quality of the project and services will be evaluated in accordance with a set of agreed standards  No child from the institution will be moved to any other institution - placement in SFH will be the only acceptable form of residential care  There will be a moratorium on new placements in the institution from the beginning of the project and for the entire duration of the project, as a key factor for a successful outcome

PRINCIPLES  All new services will be managed and funded through local authorities  Staff of the institution will be given priority in applying for the new services  The institution will no longer exist at the end of the project. If appropriate the building may be used for non-residential children’s services

STAGES 1.INITIAL ASSESSMENT 2.PROJECT DESIGN 3.IMPLEMENTATION 4.MONITORING AND EVALUATION

1. INITIAL ASSESSMENT  Rationale  Methodology  Implementation of assessment  Analysing data

RATIONALE  Provides an accurate picture of the current situation  Provides concrete evidence on which to base the transformation project  Demonstrates that transforming child protection system is both feasible and cost effective Initial assessment:

METHODOLOGY  Collecting written data from: - Social services - Institution - about each child and families  Stock and flow analysis  Financial structure and costs of current system  Staffing structure of institution  Assessing children and families in the following areas: 1.living conditions 2.family and social relationships 3.social behaviour 4.physical and mental health 5.education 6.household economy  Building trust between partners including staff of the institution

ANALYSING DATA STOCK AND FLOW ANALYSIS STOCK - the group of children currently in the institution FLOW - the movement of children in and out of the institution over time

STOCK Summary of the information collected from:  Interviews with families  Assessments of children  Written records  Conversations with professionals

FLOW ANALYSIS Collect the following about each child that has entered and/or left the institution over the past 3-5 years:  Name  Date of birth  Date of admission to institution  Special needs (if any)  Domicile  Reason for placement  Date when they left institution and where they went

PROJECT DESIGN PROJECTION OF NEEDED SERVICES Based on the stock and flow analysis  services needed for current children  annual demand for needed services

LIST OF SERVICES NEEDED IN ZENICA 1.PREVENTION 2.REINTEGRATION 3.ADOPTION (in country adoption) 4.FOSTERING 5.SMALL FAMILY HOME 6.YOUNG ADULT SUPPORT

STAFFING AND FINANCING OF NEW SERVICES  develop staffing structure for each of the new services  make projection of running costs of new services and compare it with the current costs of running the institution  In Zenica the staff of the institution will move to the new services and the budget of the institution will be reallocated to the new services

Write detailed project with  outcomes  activities  indicators  time frames  clear responsibilities Involve all relevant stakeholders in developing the project

IMPLEMENTATION  stop admissions to the institution  develop new services: prevention & reintegration, substitute families, young adult support, small family homes  prepare and move the children in phases  prepare and move the staff in phases

MONITORING AND EVALUATION  Should be built into the project design

SUMMARY  Do not assume that developing family based services will automatically lead to institutions emptying and closing – this will NOT happen  Transforming institutions has to be deliberate and clear target from the beginning

By using the model outlined in this presentation, transforming institutions not only provides greatly improved outcomes for children but is also feasible and cost effective.
